May or may not be a Hot Take: I’ll forever be glad that the Kingdom Hearts series takes itself seriously and is being genuinely fun & sincere about it all.
Not winking at the camera constantly telling you how absurd it is that Donald Duck & Sephiroth are in the same scenes together.
thank god Kingdom Hearts isn't written like a marvel movie
if it was an actual disney game, it wouldn't lol. good thing its not a disney game.
I thought III started to do this.
Yes, I love this about the series! No matter how many people are out there enjoying it "ironically," the games always have authentic emotional moments, silly or sad.
I mean not really in 3, they try to act all meta humor about it
My hot take is, Having a disney world be a carbon copy of the movie with SDG in the background is worse than just not having Disney elements at all.
I don't want to wade through the movies, I want the crew to be IN THE WORLD, mucking things up, having their own story.
The sanctity of disney purity can be on my dvd on my shelf. I'd rather be without it than to be on such a restrictive rail.
I feel this so much, the best times in a disney world is when you DONT know exactly whats gonna happen, or at least not in what order or something, like the pixar worlds in 3 beat out the disney ones by a longshot its not even funny, cus they literally just told their own stories, frozen is a polar opposite tho where the story is happening WITHOUT us, we we're just bystanders, hope that never happens again
Yea NGL I would love original stories. Also, could you imagine the mature storytelling capabilities without Disney characters though. I think even bbs got quite dark but they could possibly go further with the emotional weights.
I didn’t have much of complaint about that in the first two but after they animated the entire song of let it go in kh3 I see your point.
hard agree. Disney's gotten too stingy with their worlds now. A lot of the worlds in 3 were just the guys copy pasted in the background of the movie, especially the Frozen world.
Preach brother
To me there isn't a single bad kingdom hearts game. There are some that are better than others but overall. All of them are enjoyable
Agreed
coded
@@vivianblue5332never played coded but recoded is great
@@vivianblue5332Coded has great and fun gameplay. The story is pretty good too. Sure it’s annoying that we replay levels from 1, but the game is still good.
Amen, Master 16!
I understand the Way to Dawn versus Braveheart debate in which is better but Riku gaining Braveheart is character development. It means he finally made it to Dawn, he’s completed his character arc in his struggle against the darkness. Way to Dawn is so much better looking (rip car key) but story wise, way to Dawn served its purpose and it’s breaking make sense.
ok but they fould have designed something better than that peice of shit he got. riku got shafted overall in kh3 both appearance and personality
I feel you story wise, but yea “Braveheart” is a lazy design & doesn’t even live up to its name.
I dont think losing it storywise means or did anything though, and it was literally the most fitting keyblade he could've ever had, symbolizing light and dark, and angel and demon wing back to back. Losing that you would think it means he's one put or the other behind him or something but no, it just broke for the sake of breaking and changing everyone's designs for the sake of change, tbh it shoulda just remained as a reminder always, what it took to get it and how far he's come, the only thing that sucks is we never see him actually get either, one minute he doesnt the next he does.
Braveheart is the worse looking keyblade oat
Hot take: Riku x Naminé actually does make sense.
They spent a year together between games and Riku-Replika's feelings likely became part of Riku during this time. Riku was just focused on the mission at the time and DiZ basically made Naminé interactions with others very limited.
I said this on a different Twitter thread, but Kairi is not a bad character. Her journey is just slower than Sora’s. As the kids say, let Nomura cook.
It would be okay if no new Final Fantasy characters were added but the original ones, they are Sora's friends they shouldn't suddenly dissapear.
Yeah like I get not adding new ones, cause it can be annoying having to rework their backstories which essentially just makes them original characters with a familiar coat of paint, but just ignoring the ones already present (especially ones that have their own storylines and are directly related to the plot and main characters in some way) is just lazy and annoying
Like they shouldn’t let the plot lines dangle or have them have been so involved in the main plot if they wanted to distance themselves from using FF characters in the future
YES
I would like new ones, and especially incorporated more heavily into the story. I mean, there's just so much potential with such a wide variety of options. Just imagine Cecil who is literally a knight of darkness who becomes a paladin of light. Also the balance-keeping destroyer of worlds: Cloud of Darkness/Light.
i can agree with this. I dont really need to see noctis in this (would be funnywith the versus 13 stuff tho) But im really hoping we can someone see more TWEWY characters. since everyones grow up a bit i think it would make sense for them to have their Neo: designs. Maybe bring rindo. I mean both twewy and kh4 have shibuya (even if its not the same place, sleeping worlds again? idk). I think it would be fun even if its likely not happening.
Id expect our group on hollow bastion to keep around. But i think KH has enough of its own identy now, that adding more and more FF is a bit over kill. Personally i thought KH 3 had alot of character with 4 trios, sidekicks and not even getting into the Org. KH4 bring more from the mobile games. theres alot alot of original characters now, i can only follow so many.
Justice for the party members they left out. Barrett/ redxiii/ Vincent
My Kingdom Hearts hot take: I absolutely loved Kingdom Hearts 3 and while it felt rushed at times, I think it delivered on some big things in some big ways that had me covered in goosebumps
Union X is the best KH game....in terms of community. As good as the series is, we can only really gush about it from outside sources. Be it social media, discord, ect.
With Union X, we had in game groups to share our love of the series with. The different factions, the chatting between group members, raiding together, discussing optimal medal set-ups, it was amazing.
If we get anything like that with Missing Link, instant 11/10.
I can't imagine why they wouldn't have in game chatting and some party system at the very least, if there's not factions and stuff to choose from, it'll be cool to see again
This is so real and so hard to describe to fans/people who weren't there for that era. The game is admittedly not the best thing ever but the sense of community that was behind it is the reason it was so successful and I hope Missing Link can reignite something like that again.
I love videogames, but I suck at them. Always have, probably always will. I just have poor reflexes and coordination. A lot of people joke about KH being a "press X to win" type of game on the easier modes, but I really appreciate that the easier modes exist. As a kid I would often get stuck on games indefinitely and give up without finishing (especially Final Fantasy ones lol). I like that KH has a nice range of difficulty between fairly easy (except for a few boss fights) and Proud/Critical. It means that people who aren't as skilled get to participate in the fun too instead of being forced to just experience it through cutscene compilations.
My hot take is that I do like Braveheart as Riku's own fenrir, but I will agree Way to Dawn slaps really hard and too iconic.
My Kingdom Hearts Hot Take:
I actually really like Face My Fears (KH3's Opening)
I personally like the electronic sound it has, and I think it gets way too much hate.
People didn’t like “face my fears” love this song, the visuals just make it 1000x better than it alr is and rlly shows homage to sora opening words at the beginning seeing the character lose it all but like sora said returning home, like my only gripe with the kh series is sora kh3 design i think it’s the worst design the series has seen kh2 nailed his design, and the fact that sora has to get nerfed for the plot to move forward everytime bro has went from the bottom to top like 80 times😭
I dont like the new keyblade, but a representation of his growth was something I had been looking forward to. Same with the outfits, its a sign of growth and good change. I feel like a lot of fans want every game to be kh2 and not let the series grow.
I dont think that car key is a representation of jackshit personally lol riku will always harbor both side of him and his past so why did they get rid of the keyblade that encapsulates that is beyond me
Hot Takes:
Deep Jungle is good, actually. KH1's platforming is rough on account of being Square's first foray into the realm, but the jump attack helps ease the jank, and while you do have to constantly go back and forth between the treehouse and the camp, it basically begs the player to start experimenting with the route they take, be it players who start by crossing the lagoon to climb the hanging vine, at the top of which they need to climb a vine on a tree, priming them to notice the vine on the tree that leads to the vine swinging area, skipping the platforming segment in exchange for a longer quick time event segment or players who start by climbing the tree vine, at the top of which they stand atop leaves, priming them to realize that those trees in the hippo lagoon are platforms, and with how vertical the level is, they'll almost certainly fall a few times and notice that they end up in different places depending on where they fall. It hopefully should help push you to start experimenting with your paths before you reach worlds like Agrabah, Atlantica, Monstro, and Hollow Bastion. That said, Notxclay and the Stealth Sneak is the absolute worst, that fight really showcases the limits of KH1's camera.
Atlantica is good, actually. Your melee attacks suck and you have no summons, but basically every enemy is weak to magic or has some cheese you can pull on them using magic, and it hopefully should help push you to start using magic before you reach lategame and start fighting heartless that are designed specifically to kill anyone who spams their base combo. That said, the conditions for using the dolphin are really dumb.
Monstro is... nah I can't type this with a straight face, that world is basically either aimless wandering or a walk in the park. If your world needs glowing doorways for people to not get lost, you're doing something wrong.
finally Deep Jungle truthers (but I also liked Monstro sue me)
Deep Jungle is my favorite disney world in KH1. Monstro is my second favorite because I love the music and the dungeon layout reminds me of old school RPG dungeons, plus it was cool to see Pinocchio, idk I like it a lot.
@@Erikthedood you have taste. I also think the music in Monstro has one of the best field/battle themes in the game
@@A2daM2daZ I liked Monstro, but I hated going back for items 💀.
Edit: I always loved Deep Jungle
Yeah, Monstro's theme is amazing, and it also has like, one of the best Disney plots hands-down, it makes complete sense Riku would try to kidnap Pinocchio in hopes of using him to figure out a way to give Kairi a heart, and the twist of being a world without a Keyhole that you don't choose to visit but end up trapped in and have to escape is so insanely cool. Terrible level design, but everything else about that world is S-tier.
KH1FM synth is not bad and it's something that forces you to use all your tools to conquer. You have to strategically fight special heartless, which is why I love it. ReCoM is also a masterpiece of a game and the learning curve feels so good to understand.
The only thing that sucks is monkey snipers iirc those and the teal mushroom are just grindy
I've actually grown to like keyblade transformations more then drive forms recently.
It's reaaally stupid that some people harass streamers for playing on easy.
This may or may not be a hot take but imo kh 358/2 days has an interesting combat system once you learn it in depth.
It has such risk vs reward system with limit break and once you get so much of your movement, days goes hard. Magic was also great once you learn what you can do with it.
30 min gamersjoint vid yes please
Goat dropped
@@RichardLoweJrwithout a doubt yes
The hate the fandom has for Master Eraqus is greatly exaggerated. His hatred for the darkness was pretty reasonable considering that while aspects of darkness such as anger and hate are not inherently bad, you can easily be consumed by them, and evil characters are OVERWEMINGLY darkness users compared to light. Riku is a darkness-using hero, but it cost him greatly, and he had to go through a whole arc to be able to use it safely. Not to mention he described his journey specifically as "the road to dawn", and later says in DDD "consume the darkness, return it to light" showing that he is still more light leaning.
While Eraqus did try to do some bad things for the purpose of a greater good (killing Ven to stop the x blade), he was not "just as bad" as Master Xehanort.
I never heard the "just as bad" and wouldn't agree with it, but I don't think the issue with Eraqus is the whole fear of darkness. It's the whole "tried to kill Ventus for knowing too much" thing. And also because he went down way to easily when confronting Xehanort.
Most of those criticisms are specifically about his introduction in BBS. You're kind of misunderstanding where that criticism truly comes from. As the story progressed I agree he's totally fine. But at first it was definitely shaky.
@@vadandrumist1670Idek why he didn't have that energy to end xehanort when he immediately went to killing Ventus when he knew too much, like he definitely could have set a trap or something for xehanort.
Everything is over exaggerated in KH after 2. Kh3 was so bad being self aware and trying to make a joke out of it. It was poorly written. No taste. Very surface level.
Chain of Memories (GBA version) is an amazing game, my personal 3rd favorite, and gets a lot of hate because it's challenging
i just want you to know that i fully agree. COM has probably the best mystery and suspension of the series. and the art in the gba version was original, which is why the whole assetflip from kh1 doesnt apply there
Another banger! Thanks for touching on the elitism dude. It’s exhausting having to curate every bit of nuance in a take to talk about KH so that people don’t come after you. We’ve all got our own opinions (for me I strongly stand by Disney elements being important) and while I agree with some more than others, this is a game that should be enjoyed by everyone in their own way.
KH II Hot Take right there :
" We should have been able to play the same section of Hollow Bastion Castle,
like we have seen in the Kingdom Hearts II E3 2004 Trailer"
Love the content Jared , first KH youtuber I ever watched back in 2014, your support to this community is unmatched :)
2024*, not "2014", right?
I love both intro songs for KH1 and KH2, but Sanctuary edges out just by a little bit for me. The drums during the break continue to amaze me till this day.
To me, I feel Final Fantasy characters should make a return as it is an essential part of the franchise’s identity and intial appeal. The series has more than spawn as its own thing, but it is the most iconic and essential element in the series outside of Disney properties.
I mean they did in the DLC for KH3. They're still around and involved in the story. They're trying to find and bring back Sora from Quadratum. The reason they weren't in KH3 as much is simply because the story was focused on wrapping up the Dark Seeker saga and that was the primary objective. Adding them into KH3 wouldve added even more unnecessary story beats
@@poggerwhiteactually the reason for including them from what I know, was because the community was mad about them missing. Then he put them back in in remind. He wanted to get rid of them completely because the only reason for them existing in the first place, was to give FF players a reason to try kh
Honestly, as someone who's played this series since literally day 1 in america (which, is also on my dads birthday so thats neat,) I can honestly agree that the elitism is honest to God the reason I don't like talking about it to other people as much anymore because I could literally go to someone else who's played the series for a long time who I can simply just disagree with and say "Well, personally I do kinda get where you're coming from, and I definitely don't think X game is as good as X, but I think it's still a really good game, I enjoyed my time with it, and I got the closure I personally wanted." and then I immediately will get met with
"Ok, first of all you fucking idiot, if you don't see why X game ruined literally everything because it didn't have X, X, or X in it, you aren't a fan, what you should do is delete the game and only play X, otherwise you're just a fucking shill."
If it's not obvious X games in question are 3 and 2 respectively. I love 3, and I love 2, and 1 will always be my favorite above all. I will not change that for someone who constantly wants to try to be as good as bl00dybizkits yet they don't even know who they are.
Well said.
I had the opportunity to play 3 finally just this year and it was one of the most fun games i ever played. The fact that people hate it so much is crazy to me.
@@brotbrotsen1100 I'm glad you're enjoying it! It's honestly so much better than people give it credit for.
Hot Take: KH3 is super fire because it completely foreshadows and lays out Soras upcoming character arc in every single world.
Agreed. I really like that about KH3. My problem with the game is that because I played so much of it in 2019, I kinda burnt myself out on it. And I'm talking about maybe 6 times of playing and beating it in one year. Other than that I really like KH3
While very little happens in the first 2 thirds of the game, let's be real, the gameplay might be the best so far, though Attraction Flow was a bit TOO easy. (The option to turn off optional AttFlo to get MROE drive forms was SO fun.)
@@KingTaltia Id argue that an exceptional amount of exposition and set up happens early on.
Sora seeing all the different examples of love and sacrifice throughout the Disney worlds, and how that ties into him realizing his feelings for Kairi and the decision to sacrifice his very existence to bring her back to life is one of the best storytelling moments in the entire series! If I had one complaint, I wish the moment this all clicked in his head had more time to breathe amongst everything else happening in the endgame of KH3
@@drm726 well said. Sora is gonna have to teach the Master how to deal with loss
I don't agree with Disney dissapearing from the games but id say that the original content should have a higher time on screen right now is like less than 20 percent of the games lenth.
it will forever be batshit insane to me that the games arent like 50/50 feeling, or at least even 40/60, I mean the cutscenes with KH characters are abundant but its like, we dont get to play in the original spaces and play out all that stuff half the time, kh3 coulda had a whole riku side story or kairi prologue for a tutorial
I dunno that this is a hot take, but I also really miss the crossover element. Seeing the classic Disney villians shooting the shit together. All the Final Fantasy characters running around, getting involved in the plot, however minor.
I also loved boss fights against the characters! I think the last game you got to fight a Disney villain was back in Birth by Sleep where you fought Captain Hook and Put Peter Pan in his place.
DDD had Ursula, Julius and rinzler.
KH 3 had the kraken and Davy Jones, the titans from Hercules, microbots and technically baymax.
My hot take is that the command deck was never a good implementation. I feel like it's used the worst in BBS since you need to level up your command deck spells and stuff to unlock your abilities. As someone who enjoys KH when it's fast paced combat, I'd rather not scroll select abilities and would rather have my whole library of items, spells, etc there to use in real time.
Mine is that KH2's intro is incredible and I wish it lasted longer. Was my introduction to the series.
I honestly agree
I wouldn't call that a hot take imo
How on Earth is that a hot take? People love Sanctuary
@@poggerwhite he means the roxas section before you play as sora, that’s the way I took it. If he meant the opening then I agree with you
Firstly this is an excellent video. This conversation style video is one of the best I've seen you do. I really enjoyed hearing your opinions and how you linked it with your personal experience. Would love another one these someday!
Secondly my hot take:
KH3 peaked in the toystory / tangled segment.
here’s my hot take: Dream Drop Distance is genuinely one of my favorite games. it’s not stupid or annoying as a lot of people say. it’s actually a super important game that further developments riku and sora’s relationship/bond. whether you view sora and riku as friends or lovers, it doesn’t matter. you can’t deny the fact that it shows how much they both care about each other. and how riku is the knight in the store and sora is a prince. the fucking subtext is crazy and that’s why i love the game so much. the sublet nod that the story is kind of a re-telling of sleeping beauty. LIKE COME ON. but again, whether you ship them or not it doesn’t matter. i love the story, the gaming mechanics, all of it! and the fact i can play as riku for half of it. i’m literally a simple person to please when it comes to KH.
I like how sophisticated Sora looks in KH4, and that's probably my favorite outfit of the ones he's worn. It makes me hope that he's going to start being less childish and more serious in this upcoming game.
And yeah, Riku's Keyblade breaking so early in KH3, especially after what he accomplished in Dream Drop Distance, felt rather unnecessary. It didn't help that we didn't see how he got Braveheart, nor learned anything about that Keyblade's origins. As such, we're not as connected to the new one as we are to the one that was made from the sword given to him by Maleficent, which we look upon more fondly. Let's get some backstory behind his new one at some point.
Strelitzia probably hid Sora’s shoes because that fashion is a no go in wherever they are
My hot take is that Aqua has the best story in BBS.
terra struggled being easily manipulated by Xehanort
Ven dealt with being one half of a weapon
Aqua deals being caught between the responsibility that comes with the position she trained so hard for, and learns the hard way what that means. she is always late to the punch and before she knows it, it's too late. I find her saving Terra at the end to be a bittersweet victory for her after failing the whole game, which perfectly fits the tragedy of BBS's plot, I love it.
Yeah that certainly is a hot take...
My own personal hot take: 358/2 and Re:coded should of gotten the remaster over Re:com
Days definitely deserved the remake treatment more, but recom was made packaged with 2fm originally, dunno how they found the time and budget for that but didnt think to do it for Days at the time tho thats beyond me
I didn't post it on the tweet like I should have, but my hot take would probably be that, while I loved both, I think I love and prefer KH3 more than I do with KH2
I don't know if this is a hot take but...Melody of Memory should get some DLC songs
Hearing "BBS" and "Peak of Quality"
in the same sentence is crazy
29:10 That ALWAYS get annoying. In any scenario for any game. It's like the concept of preferences doesn't exist or is so far fetched to them. Also, on another note, it's equally irritating when a person tells people to play the "right" way. When the whole point of playing a video game is for your own self enjoyment. It's like people mocking others for playing on lower difficulties. It's so stupid. I'm ashamed to say that I was one of those people when I was younger, but jeez, was I dumb.
Also for my hot take, even with it's flaws, KH3: Re:Mind still remains as my favorite game in the series. With KH2FM being a close second.
I don’t know if these counts as a hot take, but kingdom hearts would make an amazing dynasty warriors style game and if KHUX was remade into like an ESO or PSO style MMO it would be one of the best
Whenever i see the 1000 heartless battle or the amount of enemies KH3 throws at you sometimes, I also always think the series would make a great dynasty warriors game.
You should do another one of this, it was fun
My Hot Take: People need to accept preemptly that Disney villain presence will no longer be as emblematic as in KH1.
I hope into KH4 Maleficent & Pete will have a bit more involvement as the front of the Disney villains since we will soon see a re-take of the princesses, which will sure make us fight Facilier (I'm looking forward to that). the earlier Disney villain failed at mid KH2, but the villains being a way to mix the worlds in the overall story and not just the single worlds was a central point of the first story
I'M SO GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS TOMATOES DON'T BELONG ON FUCKING BURGERS
i’m with you to be fair
The bun gets soggy af with tomatoes... i hate tomatoes
You guys dont like flavour damn...
I hate tomatos
Happy for you lmao. But this ain’t a hot take, everyone is particular about food.
When I was a kid I definitely didn’t want them on mine. Now I don’t mind 😂
I would love to have this be a recurring series on the channel ngl. Even though I strongly disagreed with some of the takes it was super dope to hear some KH opinions
My hot take is the 358 has the most distinct mood and vibe compared to the rest of the series and it definitely deserves a full on remake
I had no issue with the controls in KH1 atlantica. Circle to rise, square to descend, and if you lock on, sora will home in to the enemies. Simple tbh
istg jared! your content has been nothing but banger after banger! 🎉
Neku should have a role in a future KH game. Especially now that he has an older design which coincides with Sora appearing as a kid in DDD
Some of these were wild lmao keep it up buddy
Kingdom Hearts was started as a Disney final fantasy fusion. I like that fusion, so even if they can stand on their own, I appreciate the cameos and don’t want them to exit please and thank you.
I have one. AXEL DID NOT NEED A KEYBLADE!!
My personal hot take is that Sora shouldve "died" at the end of 3 and been retired as the main character of KH. End of the Xehanort saga, end of Sora's journey. only to end up being replaced by Yozora.
The entire game they're telling him not to abuse the power of waking, and what does he do? he does exactly that trying to save everyone and Kairi at the end. It couldve been a real tragic hero moment. The best part is that he ends up in Quadratum only to get beaten by Yozora, who takes over the series saying," It's my turn to save you ,now". Now we can follow Yozora's story, play as him, even have an entire new cast of Disney characters to follow. Maybe Yozora being alternate Sora, could be traveling with Oswald instead of Mickey lol who knows?
Would be a great decision if you try to kill a franchise.
@@brotbrotsen1100 I disagree, I think with where the story is headed, its much bigger than just Sora, unless KH4 wants to tie everything up back to Sora being special somehow.
Yknow, End of Xehanort saga, its a new era, why not start fresh?
I missed the twitter post, but my hot take is that Re:Coded is the best handheld Kingdom Hearts game, at least gameplay-wise. It sucks the story is mostly text and images, but the mechanics and deck system are really at their peak in that game.
Also if we get a Kairi + Aqua game of some kind, I would love to see them visit Atlantica. Both because of the points Cynical made surrounding a modern rendition of the world, and because mermaids.
thats not a hot take everyone agrees that re:coded gameplay is amazing
My favorite moment from Kingdom Hearts is when Mario, Sora, Cloud, and Sephiroth fought each other.
I love Com played both versions and found it fun once you get use to the card system 😊
xion always deserves more love
I’m glad the command deck is getting more love I actually really liked it and wish it was used more
I have a hot take. I think that there should have been a remaster of recoded. Either that or they should have maybe a couple fans helping make kh4. They are so many people who remake games like the kingdom hearts series which is so amazing.
I've never seen the elitist side of the KH community. There are tons of people who say they hate kh because of the toxic community, but I've never seen them, only ever heard of them through others. I'm not saying people are wrong, I'm just really really confused by that notion, because I find it ridiculous to be toxic and love KH of all things. Loving KH requires compassion and a tolerance for wackiness. So how can toxic people in the community even exist? So weird, but I'm glad I haven't come across those people. I've only seen good and loving people.
I've come across one or two toxic people. All I did was share a photo of something I had completely missed in KH2 and some were saying it was impossible to miss because it was right in your face. A lot of others though hadn't even noticed it before.
Kingdom hearts 3 alone is a good example of how toxic some fans can get, also I hate the data fights from both 2 and 3. People seem to not take that well when I bring that up.
Kingdom hearts didn't need the FF characters, but it would have been cool to have the most recent FF protagonist in each kingdom hearts game.
Would have been cool to see Lightning or Noctis
another fire vid, good stuff!
Sora need to wear Flanel *Wayward son playing in the background* Yeahhh!! 😂
10:58 My man really skipped over the existence of the “Let him cook” meme lol
Kh 3 needed that sephiroth boss fight 😢
Not just sephiroth. Kh3 needed the entirety of hollow bastion
Riku's new keyblade will always be the Kingdom Car Key. Let's talk about it.
Tomatoes not belonging on burgers is a BASED take - they compromise the texture of a good burger! 👏🍔 (And cheers for featuring the Atlantica take!) 👑💙
The stat matrix reminds me of the sphere grid from final fantasy 10
Hot Take: Cure belongs on the Triangle button shortcut and you are an absolute mad man if u map it to any other button that isnt the Triangle button 🤷🏾♂️
the only game I don't map Cure to a shortcut in is KH3 and only because you can customize the magic menu, so I can stick it at the top and just select Magic and spam X to heal
A lot of hot takes on here. Got to love it
About the Bbs Multiplayer. You still can play it on an Emulator and there is a discord with people you can play with.
I like this format it's like a "Let's Argue" from Fontana but with video games.
Definitely agree that while a days remake would be very cool, it doesn't compete with how crucial a union x /dark road remake/remaster would be
i kinda love KH1 atlantica even on my first run i never found it too difficult to navigate.
I still wish for a MMO RPG for console, to play KH with friends :) love the video!!

Atlantica in kh1 has one of the hardest bosses and I got stuck on Ursula as a kid and stopped playing and came back after I beat kh2 and got stuck on malificent and stopped again lol
My hot take is that the first KH game is the best one by far.
KH2 is great and all, but there's something about the first one I just can't quite explain...
It's the atmosphere. KH1 feels like a dark epic fairy tale from days of old. If has a level of emotion to it no game has. The comfort of the final fantasy group at traverse town guiding your way. Even little things like finding the puppies and returning them. It feels much more like the end of the world than other KH games, but you are that light in the end. And that light genuinely feels wholesome and good. In KH, darkness is objectively winning until the point that Sora actually defeats "Ansem." I mean the last world is the carcasses of other worlds along with gateways to the Disney worlds showing that they are currently being invaded.
I like to play KH2 when I want some of the most epic gameplay to ever be designed. I play KH1 when I want one of the most wholesome and beautiful gaming experiences ever. So many unforgettable cutscenes. AndHollow Bastion is the single best location in any game, ever.
It is the only video game that to this day makes me, a grown man, cry. The ending is just incredible.
legit just ate a burger with a tomatoe in it🍅 1:11
late to this but my potential hot take is there should've been a keyblade for traverse town. every other world we went to in kh1 had a keyblade either unlocked after completing the world or going back once able to do the thing to get the keyblade of that world, i always thought that traverse town could've had its own signature keyblade that had a house like design with lights and a tiny door, it was never a finished design in my head but you get what i mean, the keyblades we got we cool ngl bout that, just thought it would have been a cool thing to go to each world and get a keyblade for the world, not including the multiple you get from hercs world.
Please, need to hear yours and the rests hot takes on this. I’m upset we didn’t get to clap Maleficent in KH2 or 3. I like her and Pete as main antagonists
my friend HATES kingdom hearts 2 and considers it inferior to kingdom hearts 1 in many ways and i find him crazy
Everyone can play kingdom hearts but not everyone should have an opinion about it.
Cold take: Sora should've been made a Master after KH2. Blud saved the worlds 2 times at that point.
I remember nomura was working on xenoblade chronicles 2 at momolift studios and super smash too. during KH3 and ff7 part 1 development time. Which makes sense why nomura was rushing at that time leaving out the original assets from kh1 and 2 and rest of the final fantasy characters too due Disney contract with bandai namco.
Hot take, Riku and Mickey breaking their keyblades in the Realm of Darkness was a gigantic mistake on every level
I wouldn't call it a mistake but I would call it pointless.
@Official_MikeyT never once before that moment has a keyblade shown wear and tear, let alone damage. Soras took down a mf skyscraper dragon rocket and was scratch-free. Mickeys keyblade was FROM the Realm of Darkness.. how tf did it break?
That definitely ANNOYED ME.
Everyone calls Way to Dawn “edgy” but its a million times better than that car key 👀💀
ikr!? Way To The Dawn suits a darkness using keyblade wielder fighting for the light much better than that freaking car key!
@@-Anonymous-.lol same brain
Bring back the Sephiroth fights as one of the super bosses
I agree with Jared when he said union X cross needs a proper redo.
Does anyone know the song at 21:50?
My hot take is everyone is not a Sora, but that everyone is a Ventus
My hot take is that this has been the best KH content on the internet!!!
About the toxicity id like to add there's a decently sized part of the community that absolutely lambast you if you criticize their fav game.
Let's not kid ourselves, this is surprisingly common.
the main turn-off to Missing Link imo is that it's gonna be like Pokemon Go, which makes it near unplayable for people in rural areas like myself, I want it to not be reliant on its gps gimmick and instead have that be more of an idle thing rather than the main gameplay style
you can play from home tho, what sucks is actually going around will recharge stuff faster or like be the only source of some things, idk it is pretty dumb
@@SSlash and that's the problem, playing at home is gonna be restricted by an energy system
CoM on the GBA was goated and I will absolutely die on this hill no matter what
The bbs command board is the best kingdom hearts mini game in the series.
I love hot takes!!
My hot take: The story is at *least* as important as the gameplay, and there has never been an official Kingdom Hearts game with a bad story. Maybe bad story*telling*, but I wouldn't even go that far. But while I've appreciated some more than others, I've never come out of a Kingdom Hearts title feeling like it made the overall story any less.
Also musical worlds would be fun.
Re chain of memories is a good games if you know how the card system works and use sleights. I beat most bosses simply by spamming Sonic blade and various magic spells depending on their weaknesses.
